Hello, my name is Lauren...

...and I am a walking disaster.

So... we've had my car back for a few days now (and I love it! I somehow forgot how much I love driving that car :))... And apparently something within me decided that it had been too long since I had last wreaked havoc. So this morning, I may have accidentally set the teapot on fire when I turned on the wrong burner to hard-boil some eggs. Don't worry, I put the flames out before they hurt anything else.I'm just glad we don't have gas burners still or this could've been way worse.

Ok...you'd think as accident prone as I am I would know how to clean this up!! We did set our stove on fire once by turning on the wrong burner but that was one of those metal burner covers and it didn't melt -- thank goodness! Our big problem was cleaning up all the yellow gunk from the fire extinquisher -- ewww! Good luck with your clean up and very thankful it wasn't worse!

Not sure about the melted plastic, I imagine it might be a bit of a problem. I would probably look into buying another burner (at least they're installed) since you wouldn't want to mess around with poisoning your food with plastic fumes.

No idea...but, here's a tip...I am prone to turning on the wrong burner, too...so, to avoide such an accident as yours - - - I always keep a bit of water in the tea kettle, or pots on the stove top. Just in case! That way, I will only end up boiling water, instead of starting fires.
